Right. And the idea that this coalition often pushes that they’re the party or faction of the government not intruding isn’t really accurate.

Small government is a fig leaf primarily focused on gutting social programs while allowing expensive wars.
Different parts of the coalition have different views of government intrusion on different things. It's not the libertarian party that views less "intrusion" as an end in and of itself.
That's exactly how the party frequently chooses to portray itself, though.
